  1. No game chat audio when Headset is connected


    I recently got a capture card to stream because I had been streaming directly from xbox only to find I had no game chat audio. I found this thread of lots of people having the same issue and sure enough when I disconnect my headset, game chat audio comes through.

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...ure-card/9ff22dbc-c332-4dbf-aa8c-4dd4ef86d818

    There hasn't been a reply from Microsoft in over a year and I don't see that a solution was ever found. Is there an update on this?

    The issue seems to be that when a headset is connected, the xbox prioritizes it as an audio device EVEN IF you have audio output set to headset AND speakers. Evidently this worked before some update in late 2021 and I've found threads on reddit complaining of the same issue and either you guys never fixed it or never told anyone what the solution was. Is there a way to bypass the headset audio prioritization and have all audio through the HDMI and headset output simultaneously while also using headset mic as audio input? It sounds like this used to be how it worked and it got messed up with no alternative.

    I am aware of the elgato chat link but I don't want to buy a $200 capture card plus their proprietary cord just so that I have to use my $250 made for xbox wireless headset with a wire attached.

    :)

    Turtle Beach X12 No Audio on TV

    Here is another post that I wrote up earlier but didn't post:

    Ok, I'm a little confused. Just to be sure, what is not working when:

    1. Does the game audio work when the Xbox is directly connected to the TV?

    2. Does the game audio work when the Xbox is only connected to the Headset?

    3. Does the game audio work through the headset when the Xbox is connected to both the TV and Headset?

    4. Does the game audio work through the TV when the Xbox is connected to both the TV and headset?

    Note, the headset contains two different audio channels, when connected to the controller, you are receieving the Chat channel, when connected to the Xbox you are receiving the Game audio (the same that would go through the TV). The settings on the Xbox are
    for Chat audio only. That should be set to headset only for when using the headset, this will cause game audio to play through both the TV and Headset while Chat audio through the headset only, if set to both game audio remains the same but Chat audio will
    play through both, and of course of set to speakers then game audio will still play through both but chat audio will play only through the TV. Ideally, this should be set to headset only especially when using the X12.

    As for the issues with sound, if it is your TV not producing the sound, check the settings on the TV. Make sure the connections are appropriate. You said you are using Composite, that means the standard Yellow video cable should be connected and the Red and
    White audio cables need to be connected to the corresponding audio for that Video cable. Some TVs, such as my family's still strong Tube TV have 3 auxiliary sources all of which use the Composite Yellow Video cable. Make sure, if you have multiple inputs for
    video, that the audio cables are connected to the correct coresponding source. For example, your TV may have Video 1 and Video 2 but if the video is connected to Video 1 and the audio to Video 2, then you will receive only Video when on Video 1 and only Audio
    when on Video 2.

    I'm sorry if any of this is redundant or obvious for you but the first part of this message (the 4 questions above) will better help me in assisting you further. Otherwise I'm slightly confused as to what your second post is saying. As a note, when I say game
    audio, test out a game to be sure. Check to make sure volume is on on devices as well.

    Xbox Mic not working after December Update

    Yes I connected them directly, controllers are up to date, I can hear audio and voice chat, same with the new headset, it's only the mic that isn't registering, I test it in party chat showing my headset is connected, it doesn't highlight when I talk even
    in game chat

    Will The Turtle Beach X32 Be Compatible with the new Xbox One Headset Adapter?

    If you do not have the RCA out, the only way this would work is if the Headset uses the Optical Out of the ONE
